Taylor Swift has a close knit group of female friends who she is frequently seen hanging out with (and sometimes they even join her on stage!). Turning to the people who she trusts for support and also just enjoying their company, Taylor is known for loving those who are a part of her friend group – and it turns out that they love her back! These 5 close friends have all gushed about the singer and praised her.

Jaime King

Jaime made Taylor godmother to her son. She explained her choice: ”I asked myself, ‘God forbid anything happened to me, would she take care of my child as if he were her own? What kind of morals would she instill? Will she be backup support if for any reason my child doesn’t want to come to me for something?’ I looked for giving people whom I admire, and those two give more than anyone I’ve ever met.”

Jennifer Lawrence

Jen was impressed when Taylor wrote a letter to Apple fighting for her rights: “Taylor Swift is a badass. That letter she wrote about Apple… I texted her and was like, ‘You is a badass bitch.’ She’s awesome.”

Karlie Kloss

Close friend Karlie praised Taylor for her loyalty and skills in the kitchen too: “Taylor is an incredible friend, she’s fiercely loyal and she’s an amazing chef.”

Lena Dunham

Lena loves that Taylor doesn’t use her sexuality to get ahead: “Well, I mean, her image is as a woman in control and as a woman in power, but it’s also somewhat clean-cut, like the opposite of getting naked on television. She’s one of the pop artists who noticeably isn’t trafficking in her own sexuality. She has an America’s Sweetheart quality, and I have sometimes like a quarter of Americans’ demon quality. But she’s really comfortable supporting what I do and saying why she thinks it can also have the power to speak to women.”

Martha Hunt

Martha thinks Taylor is an amazing role model: “Taylor Swift – I can’t say enough good things about her. I admire her so much as a person and as a role model for young women. I think we need more people like [Taylor]; people who want to bring women together and not oversexualise themselves. Plus, she’s talented, and she’s just the best.”
